Comments/Problems:
After choosing language and keyboard layout, d-i tried to find an
installation image on the hard disk, which failed since I wanted to
install from network. According to 'ifconfig' on console 2 d-i did not
bother to configure network, no devices were present. I checked with
'dmesg|more', my via-rhine card was not detected; I assume the boot
kernel does not contain this driver any more.
So I did not get very far this time... This is quite a pity, it
worked great with d-i beta2. Can you please include the rhine driver
again?
BTW: I did not see the announced boot logo; It's not that I need id (I
like kernel messages), but the content should hold what the wrapping
promises :-))
Thanks for your great work and have a nice day!
